...e dopo un'attesa durata ben 3 anni i nostri Supereroi sono tornati con un nuovo lavoro degno del buon esordio chiamato "Contraband"!!! La band di Slash, Duff, Matt, Scott e Dave stupisce in questo disco per la sua notevole diversità rispetto all'esordio. Già dal primo ascolto infatti, "Libertad" mostra questa notevole differenza da "Contraband". Questo era un disco che giovava molto sul Punk di Duff e sul grunge-punk di Dave (che è stato chitarrista della band di Duff: Loaded), limitando in un certo senso le capacità di Slash, Scott e Matt.
"Libertad" invece è un disco che risalta di più quest'ultimi. La voce di Scott sembra essere migliorata in modo notevole, la chitarra solista del MITICO SLASH ci regala le emozioni di sempre e ciò è reso possibile anche alla brava chitarra ritmica di Dave che da notevole impronta alle songs, per non parlare poi della mitica sezione ritmica dei nostri Duff e Matt che già in passato insieme a Slash hanno marchiato il suono Guns N' Roses di incredibile bellezza e pura poesia!!!
"Libertad" si apre con una travolgente "Let It Roll" piena di energia, e qui già notiamo il miglioramento di Scott e il notevole ruolo di spicco di Slash che ci regala un assolo potentissimo. Passiamo per "She Mine", puro stile vecchi Velvet Revolver (con chiarissimi riferimenti ai STP di Scott). "Get Out The Door" è un pezzo più punkeggiante degli altri. Eccoci poi arrivati al singolo scelto "She Builds Quick Machines" che mostra la stessa energia travolgente di "Let It Roll", ma è molto più elaborata e curata dalla band (molto appetitosa!). Ed ecco a voi tutti la canzone capolavoro del disco!!! "The Last Fight" è una semiballad, un pezzo dove vediamo uno Scott con una voce sensualissima e dolcissima, un pezzo con chiari riferimenti al brit pop-rock.
"Pils, Demons & Etc" è un pezzo dove Slash è il dominatore assoluto dall'inizio alla fine. Ed ecco a voi un pezzo che domina alla grande Duff con il suo mitico basso molto melodico: "American Man". Matt con la sua batteria da inizio a "Mary Mary", song tra le più travolgenti dell'album, con uno Scott "distorto" e chiusa con un grande Slash che accompagna il ritornello con un assolo!!! Mitico!!! 16 Sixteen.... che dire!?!?!? Uno Slash mtico!!! Bellissimo ritornello!!! Oltre a "Psycho Killer" di cover presente nel loro EP, i nostri ci presentano quest'altra cover chiamata "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", con uno Scott molto raffinato nella sua voce. "For A Brother" è un pezzo che pur essendo molto carico e carino è quello che permette più ascolto per convincere l'ascoltatore. "Spray" a mio parere è la song più brutta dell'album. Ed ecco a voi la canzone destinata ad essere la "Fall To Pieces" con intro simile a "Loving The Alien" di "Libertad"; la bellissima "Gravedancer" resa unica dalla voce di Scott e da una melodia fantastica.
A mio parere è un disco da acquistare. Bravi Velvet Revolver!!!!

03 Get Out the Door (03:17)
Come on closer, won't you tell me what you got
Wait a minute girl, you're something that you're not
Big cities screaming, driving feathers to and fro
Brass in pocket, thought you hit it when you walked up to my door
I've been down this road so long
Seen miles and miles of freaks before
Get out the door
Get out the door!
Gonna kick you when I saw what you were packing
Gonna kick it out the door
Like Transformers girl, there's more than meets the eye
Another beer and then I might end up buyin'
The city screams, it's full of Angelos and Toms
Never underestimate the danger of Sunset Boulevard
I've been down this road so long
Seen miles and miles of freaks before
Get out the door
Get out the door!
Gonna kick you when I saw what you were packing
Gonna kick it out the door
Get out the door
Gonna kick you when I saw what you were packing
Gonna kick it out the door
I've been down this road so long,
Seen miles and miles of freaks before
Think I stop and think I strong
But never could I be so wrong
So wrong
05 The Last Fight (04:05)
Time feels like I’ve been back in jail
Like when I was doin' time or even killed
Spend all night on a bended knee
Just to beg for something to believe
Left home with a pack of clothes
Without a family tree
This fight could be the last fight
No giving, no winning
One time could be the all the time
Should we decide to end the misery
Time heals all of the burned out bridges
Filled with nothing more than misery
I wear the mask of the embattled son
Trying to beg for something to believe
I left home with a pack of clothes
Without a family tree
This fight could be the last fight
No giving, no winning
One time could be the all the time
Should we decide to end the misery
Break the chains of featherweights and giants
With disdain for everlasting liars
They'll refrain when we spit out the fire
And start living, living, living my friend
(Who will answer my prayers?)
This fight could be the last fight
No giving, no winning
One time could be the all the time
Should we decide to end the misery
This fight could be the last fight
No giving, no winning
One time could be the all the time
Should we decide to end the misery
06 Pills, Demons & Etc. (02:56)
You, you got skills you got the pills
You're getting older
You got the weight of all that's left you on your shoulder
But the world still waits for you
Though you stare right through me
You got your demons and your ways of life
You could pull the trigger and
You'd end the strike
I got the news you had the blues you bought a ticket
To the one place that I won't be going to visit
What the f**k were you thinking of
Now I stare right through you
You got your demons and your ways of life
You could pull the trigger and
You'd end the strike you got your demons and you got your fancy wine
It would go down easy if you'd
Spend the night
You got your demons and your ways of life
You could pull the trigger and
You'd end the strike
You got your demons and you got your fancy wine
It would go down easy if you'd
Spend the night
08 Mary Mary (04:36)
Got a feelin' feelin' in your eyes
Got a fever, fever, fever in your thighs
In your thighs
Mary, Mary, Mary by my side
Got time and love the kind you cannot buy
Cannot buy
Black boots strong legs got style
My baby knows the walk you see her come for miles
Come for Miles
Want to find out what you're saying
Want to play the games you're playing
Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)
Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)
Mary, Mary, on my mind
Modern lover, modern kind
When we close the door we're never out of time
Out of time
Black hair, red lips, brown eyes
Can't tell you how it feels that you're mine, o mine
Mine o' mine
Want to find out what you're saying
Want to play the games you're playing
Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)
Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)
Mary, Mary, on my mind
Baby, baby, baby's on my mind
When we close the door we're never out of time
Out of time
Want to play the games you're playing
Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)
Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)
Mary, Mary, on my mind
Come on out
Get on out
09 Just Sixteen (04:01)
At school the teacher saw
The talent in your eye
So pleased to meet you
So young, so pretty, so unsatisfied
Underneath the bleachers sat
The kid and Mrs. Jones
He's her favorite secret
Duly disconcerted lovers 101
We ain't go nothin' to hide, hide
We ain't go nothin' to hide, hide, hide
We ain't go nothin' to hide, hide
We ain't go nothin', nothin', nothin' to hide
Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong, you say what we do, we do, we do
Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong, you say what we do, we do, we do wrong
We do wrong, you do wrong
Rolling in the street lights,
In his old man's ride
Head in his lap going, up and down
Up and down, oh no, cop lights
Standing in the courthouse
In front of God and every child
She said "Your Honor I plead to,
The crime of being satisfied."
We ain't go nothin' to hide, hide
We ain't go nothin' to hide, hide, hide
We ain't go nothin' to hide, hide
We ain't go nothin', nothin', nothin' to hide.
Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong, you say what we do, we do, we do
Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do, we do, we do wrong
I'm kinda feeling in love
I'm kinda feeling in love
I'm kinda feeling in love
I'm kinda feeling in love
I'm kinda feeling in love
I'm kinda feeling in love
I'm kinda feeling in love
I'm kinda feeling in love
Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong, you say what we do, we do, we do
Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do, you do, you do
Oh you say we're wrong, you say what we do, we do, we do wrong
We do wrong
We do wrong
We do wrong
We do wrong
We do wrong
We do wrong
We do wrong
We do wrong
11 For a Brother (03:29)
Can't rise from the bottom
Time flies when ya got it
Your time has receded
Wasted
Could and should have been
And didn't
I've given up my hand for a brother
Given up a hand for free
I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned
But you set yourself free
Nose Dive
Crash to the bottom
Angel
Your wing was always broken
Fought for
Rights of the prophets
Not for
The spirit of your daughters
Didn't
I've given up my hand for a brother
Given up a hand for free
I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned
But you set yourself free
Walk slowly
Seems like time stopped
Seems like I'm slow dancing
But I'm flying
Where do I go
The home I know is closed
I'm free
Free, yeah
I'm free
Free, yeah
Free, free, yeah
I've bitten off my hand for a brother
Given up a hand for a brother
I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned
But you set yourself free
Bitten off my hand for the stuff, and
Livin' off the shit you steal
You perished for religious and forgotten
Daughters that you couldn't see
Given up my hand
(You set yourself free)
Given up my hand for free
Given up my hand
(You set yourself free)
But you set yourself free
12 Spay (03:09)
Wasted all a disgrace
Rearranged the pretty messes
Pray on your abandoned knee to fucked up pleasures
To the kids with king of rights
Underneath the night tonight
You would rather spite your face than change your life
Spay
Why won't you
Why won't you
Why won't you spay yourself
Blitzkrieg the bitches bald
May the trophy sell the gold
Pay the toll of sell your soul come on come all
When the bill is on collections
Peppers holes and ugly messes
The singer sings of diamond things and all excesses
Spay
Why won't you
Why won't you
Why won't you spay yourself
Spay
Why won't you
Why won't you
Why won't you spay yourself
There is a love that doesn't lease, through the night
Heed all your baggage, and consume all your life
Spay
Why won't you
Why won't you
Why won't you spay yourself
14 Gravedancer (04:02)
She’s all that I see
And all that I breathe
Take a breath and hold her in
As the shadows whispering
And I can hear the laughter
Knowing what they’re after
Watch the flies beside me
A man with broken wings
Take, take a look around
She’s a pretty good dancer
She dances on my grave
Everytime it goes down
Everytime she comes down
Everytime we fall down
She dances all over me
She has the world in my feet
The sun that gives see
Take a rest and hold her near
Or she’ll float away from here
Cause I’m knowing what you fearin’
an unsentimental jury
and for miles I guide you
I watch over everything
Take, take a look around
She’s a pretty good dancer
She dances on my grave
Everytime it goes down
Everytime she comes down
Everytime we fall down
She dances all over me
And everytime that we feel is
just another long wasted night
And the beds that we tear is
just another way for you to roll over me
And the bed that we’re sharing
is the hole that I wanna bring you
Want to feel you ooh
I don’t want to hear you
Take, take a look around
She’s a pretty good dancer
She dances on my grave
Everytime it goes down
Everytime she comes down
Everytime we fall down
She dances all over me
She dances all over me
She dances all over me
She’s a pretty good dancer
Take, take, take a look around
She’s a pretty good dancer
Everytime she comes down

"Don't Drop That Dime" (hidden track)
As soon as I walk in the front door you're drunk on the wine
Youi're the craziest bitch I'll ever find
Like I said I'll walk in the front door
Sometimes she chased me out through the other door
Don't start that shit tonight
The police and that kind
And when I lay there and I dream
It's all their faces that I see
Don't drop that dime
Don't drop that dime
Sweet Caroline oh mine don't drop that dime on me tonight
It all begin with that old sinking feeling
Then we start drinking rye
I could smell the crazy coming out in that hard rain tonight
Like I said I'll walk through the front door
Another woman she was parked at the back door
I'll get busted, yeah I'll probably get busted once or twice before yeah
And when I lay there and I dream
It's all there faces that I see
Don't drop that dime
Don't drop that dime
Sweet Caroline oh mine don't drop that dime on me tonight
Oh the pain so sweet
Oh the game so mean
I caught your lie
I drove all night
You cherish whispers while I sleep
Don't drop that dime
Don't drop that dime
Sweet girl oh mine don't draw that gun on me tonight
Don't drop that dime
Don't drop that dime
Don't shoot that gun oh mine don't shoot that gun at me tonight
Don't drop that dime
Don't drop that dime
Don't shoot that gun oh mine don't shoot that gun at me tonight

"Libertad si rivela un disco ineguale, asimmetrico, con alcuni spunti interessanti, dove la band suona sicura e compatta."
"Credo che la remuneratività del progetto sia una buona risposta alla presenza di Slash nel gruppo."
